Building Life Skills With Our Beginner Swimming Lessons

At Swim4Life, our beginner swim lessons are designed specifically for children aged 3 and above. Our swimming lessons for 3-year-olds focus on building confidence, safety, and enjoyment through fun, interactive lessons tailored for young beginners, whether it’s your child’s first time in the water or they’re just starting to develop basic swimming skills.

Creating Confident, Happy
Swimmers

We understand some children may feel anxious about the water, so we take a gentle approach. We ease kids in by familiarising them with the pool and helping them feel comfortable. Our pool has 8 levels with steps that provide security as they gradually enter. Even if they’re hesitant to submerge, kids can sit on a step to engage with the water at their own pace. Parents are welcome to stay until their child is ready to swim independently.

Added to that, our water is kept at a comfortable 32°C, ensuring a warm and soothing environment for your child. Discover more reasons why our beginners swimming classes are so popular on our Point of Difference page.

About Our Swimming Lessons For Beginners

Our highly trained instructors, welcoming environment, and heated saltwater magnesium pools offer the ideal setting to introduce your 3-year-old to the water.

Our beginner program for children aged 3 and older is perfect for those just starting their swimming journey, helping them develop essential water safety and swimming skills in a supportive and engaging environment.

At the successful completion of the course, your child will have developed the following water skills:

Water familiarisation

Getting comfortable with being in the water, splashing, and playing.

Basic Kicking & Paddling

Learning to move through the water with kicking legs and paddling arms.

Breath Control

Practising blowing bubbles and getting used to having their face in the water.

Floating

Introducing front and back floating to help them learn buoyancy.

Safe Pool Entry & Exit

Learning how to safely enter and exit the pool independently.

Water Safety Awareness

Understanding basic water safety rules, such as holding onto the edge and staying near a guardian.

Submersion Practice

Gradually becoming comfortable with brief submersion under supervision.

Beginner Level Certificates

In the L1 Confidence Bronze Award, children are introduced to the basics of being in the water. They practice walking in the pool with the support of either the water or their instructor, helping them get familiar with the sensation of buoyancy. This level also encourages them to get comfortable with water on their face, eyes, nose, and mouth, helping to ease any fears and build a foundation of confidence in the water.

The L2 Confidence Silver Award builds on the fundamentals learned in L1 by encouraging children to begin submerging their face in the water. This level focuses on helping them get used to submersion in a playful way, such as picking up a toy from the steps or directly from the instructor’s hands. Additionally, children are introduced to the concept of floating.

In the L3 Confidence Gold Award, children start to practise more advanced skills with assistance. They work on picking toys up from the bottom of the shallow end, floating out toward the instructor, and being introduced to back floating. This level also introduces basic swimming movements, allowing children to begin moving through the water with support.

The S4 Confidence Platinum Award takes children to the next level, where they begin to swim more independently. At this stage, children practise swimming out around the instructor and returning to the steps, floating on their back, and learning important safety skills, such as falling into the pool and returning to the wall. With assistance, they can pick up toys from the deep end, and they work toward swimming 6 metres while independently coming up for breaths.

What Our Clients Have To Say

We couldnt be happier with our sons swimming lessons, he is always happy and enjoys his class, he is progressing and Jess is a wonderful teacher, it is a very clean and bright and happy swim school. All staff are always friendly and happy to help. Thank you all

The pool itself is nice and quiet, only the handful of kids in their short lessons so no overwhelming busy pools to overstimulate the little ones. Very good with nervous kids! Initially my toddler would not go within the pool area without crying. Alex especially put so much time and effort in with my daughter making her feel comfortable both in and out of the water. Little one is now excited every time swimming gets brought up and is much more confident with new faces in the water

My daughter had her first swimming lesson here today! The team is very welcoming made us feel comfortable from the start. The instructors were very cheerful, patient, caring and understanding. They have great classes with affordable prices...! The facility is very clean and has got good amenities. My daughter had a great time and is looking forward for more fun sessions in a lovely environment…!

I love this family friendly swimming school. From the day my three year old started swimming here, the owners and instructors have ensured our experience has been the best in the area. I wouldn't look anywhere else for a swim school. Plus, my daughter's confidence in the pool and her skills have improved significantly since we started. I love this place.

Exceptional Swim School and dedicated Coaches. My kids have been attending this swim school for over four years, and the transformation from water-fearing beginners to confident swimmers is incredible. Daksh and Palak's dedicated coaching has been instrumental in this journey. Their personalised instruction and focus on water safety have made a significant impact. We're grateful for their continuous support and commitment.

Have been bringing my 2yo for lessons since he was 6mo, he's so confident and happy in the water. Jess is our favourite instructor ❤️

I couldn't be happier, my daughter started here at 3 yrs old, when the school first opened. From day one, staff and teachers have been accommodating and understanding. I honestly couldn't be happier with shapland. Teachers understand that every child is different and that is seen by them never forcing them to do things they don't want to do but encouraging them to do the things they enjoy! Thank you so much
